Zamalek of Egypt are set to host Morocco's Wydad in the fourth round of the CAF Champions League group stage with the White Knights having no option except to win to keep their hopes in the tournament.
The White Knights position in Group E became very difficult after drawing two matches and losing another one to keep third with only two points.
A week ago, Zamalek chairman Mortada Mansour announced the return of Jesualdo Ferreira as head coach aiming at putting the last edition champions on the right path after their latest bad results in the CAF Champions League and Egyptian League, which led to their difficult situation in the African tournament.
The five-time African champions started their adventure in the tournament with a disappointing draw against Petro Atletico, then travelled to Angola, where they dropped another two points after playing out a goalless draw against the bottom side Segrada. The Egyptian champions suffered a 1-3 defeat by Wydad in the third round, leaving them in a difficult situation in the group.
The Whites need to win all their three upcoming games to reach the quarter-final, without waiting for the other teams' results.
